Time for a new yoga mat? Let us help you choose the right one!

Material: The material of a mat will determine the texture, stickiness, sponginess, and eco-friendliness. Vinyl mats last a long time while rubber mats are more eco-friendly ...but less spongy.

Thickness: When practicing balance postures it's best to go with a thin 1/16-inch mat so you can be grounded. For back support a thick 1/4-inch yoga mat will prevent your bones from digging into the ground. For a happy medium, go with a standard 1/8-inch mat.

Texture: The type of texture you pick determines the amount of traction you'll get. For sweaty yogis it's best to get a yoga mat with more grip so you don't slip. If you prefer a smooth mat, make sure it has a moisture control mechanism.

Everyone's yoga mat provides unique benefits based off of their body, the type of yoga they're doing, and their comfort preferences. Do you have any mat recommendations? Drop them below 👇

This Spring, let's help the bees out! Here are a few ways we can bee kind to our fuzzy friends. 🐝

🌷Plant a bee garden! You don’t need a ton of space to grow bee-friendly plants — gardens can be established across yards and in... window boxes, flower pots, and planters.

🐛 Pay attention to the products you use on your green spaces. Try natural ways to keep pests away instead of chemicals.

⛲ Fill a bird bath or bowl with water and arrange rocks inside so bees will have a place to land and take a refreshing drink while they forage and collect nectar.

📍Local beekeepers work hard to nurture their bees and the local community. The easiest way to show your appreciation is to buy locally-made honey and beeswax products.

What seeds are you planting in your life to harvest later? 🤔
Each action you take on a daily basis helps to shape your future. In order to work towards long term goals, you must start by adopting intentional new habits and releasing the ones ...that don't serve you. Consistency and self compassion are key. 💛 Believe in tomorrow.

Spring is for new beginnings! 🌷Set your intention and try this out. For the full walkthrough go to: http://ow.ly/lNwe50Ess7c

🧘‍♂️1. Begin in a seated meditation and listen to the natural flow of your breath.

🔀2. ...Come out of the mediation with the Marichi's Pose, a nice twist for the whole body.

📏3. Then go into the Head-to-Knee Bend, a gentle tension reliever for the legs and a lengthening twist for spine and lower back.

👣4. Now for Revolved Head-to-Knee Bend, reach the bottom arm out towards your extended leg and let the other arm reach up and over you towards the foot.

🐦5. Enter Pigeon Pose to work deeper into the hips, letting the whole front of the body relax down to the mat.

🐮6. Cow Face Pose awakens and frees up even more space in the hips and side body.

🏹7. There is nothing like Bow Pose to open up the body and mind. Lay flat on your belly and tuck the whole front body down to the mat.

🙃8. Follow the same instructions as Bow and once you feel stable and comfortably open, on an exhale, open to the pose by tilting onto your right shoulder in this playful variation that you can explore.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎There are simple swaps you can make in your everyday life that can help do something good for the Earth.

Here are 3️⃣easy product switches that you can try today to reduce plastic waste:

1. 🪥Use a ...bamboo toothbrush instead of a plastic one. Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that requires no fertiliser and self-regenerates from its own roots. A more sustainable material than plastic.

2. 🧴Try bar shampoo instead of a shampoo bottle. There are many options for products that are great for your hair and save a bottle from the landfill.

3. 🥗Opt for glass containers to store food in! Plastic tupperware can be flimsy, change color from food, leach chemicals into food, and end up in a landfill when they get worn out.

Remember, every small change can make a massive difference if we all work together to care for our environment. 🌱
